SDG localization is the process of adapting and customizing the SDGs and translating them into local development plans and strategies that fit the needs, context, and priorities of a particular region or locality, in coherence with national frameworks. It means placing local communities at the center of sustainable development and anchoring development action on the principles of subsidiarity, inclusion, partnership, and multilevel governance, with adequate data and financing availability at the local level.
In an ongoing initiative to advance SDG localization, UNDESA, in collaboration with an inter-agency taskforce of 缅北禁地entities and other relevant stakeholders, will launch the publication,?“Accelerating progress on the 2030 Agenda from local to global levels: The critical importance of SDG localization”?in the margins of the 2024 high-level political forum (HLPF). This compilation of policy briefs examines critical issues pertaining to local implementation of SDG action to achieve the 2030 Agenda and provides evidence-based recommendations for SDG localization. Some of the key topics include data, monitoring, and reporting; multilevel governance; SDG localization and climate action synergies; and waste and resource circularity. This policy brief follows an introductory policy brief on SDG localization available?. Future policy briefs will examine topics including financing local development and planning and strategy for SDG localization.
Please join us for this launch event to hear the authors present key findings and recommendations and engage in an interactive dialogue.
